Delaware County is flooded with places that offer standard cheesesteaks, hoagies, and pizza, but there are three family-run delis out there that have unique offerings, writes Anne E. Hill for Main Line Today.
Centrella’s Deli & Italian Market at 10 Brookline Blvd. in Havertown has been around since 1975 and features specialty sandwiches like the Robert D. Special with grilled sausage, roasted red peppers, fried onions, and sharp provolone. You also can’t go wrong with the hot roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe.
A Cut Above Deli at 3523 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square now offers the Gravesend hoagie. It’s made with mortadella, soppressata, prosciutto di parma, fresh mozzarella, arugula, sundried peppers, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Steeped in Jewish tradition is Mrs. Marty’s Deli at 1991 Sproul Road in Broomall, in the Lawrence Park Shopping Center.
It’s been around for more than 40 years. It has a unique brisket hoagie and quesadilla, Jewish banh mi, sweet potato latkes and pastrami benedict.
The chicken matzo ball soup and cabbage borscht are popular as is the Thanksgiving special– fresh turkey and homemade pineapple stuffing with cranberry sauce and coleslaw stacked on rye bread.
